    Historia no apta para gente inmadura y sin capacidad de empatía, pero una delicia si aceptas las reglas de juego de un verdadero mundo postapocaliptico, con supervivientes que son gente con matices , ni buenos ni malos.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For anyone wanting an in depth read as to why the game is being viewed negatively by most gamers:

    Firstly, no, it isn't about a specific character's death. Please let that weak argument go to justify why the game is good in all other aspects.

    Very clearly a ton of work was put into excellent gameplay, graphics and sound. They are all absolutely top notch, you'd expect nothing less of a game from them. The story on the other hand, it was well acted by Troy Baker, Ashley Johnson and the rest of the crew, but the reasoning for this story to exist seems off. I couldn't place my finger on what was wrong with it at first, but as the hours went by while playing it I got the sense that the game existed for namesake alone. Not because they had a story to tell. It's utterly clear in the end that this game's story exists because of one idea they had. It is a B movie, straight to DVD style plot twist with absolutely no impact due to its execution. Where the first game had character development on all fronts, mainly Ellie and Joel, the sequel throws that all out the window.

    Granted Abby’s story isn’t particularly intriguing whatsoever ( a new character you're forced to play as for 10+ hours ) and there is an arc that feels contrived ( extremely convenient timing, for a writer hoping to craft a redemption tale ) and to top it all off the ending is extremely disappointing. Early-game portrayals of Abby’s friends are intentionally misleading ( behavior and attitudes inconsistent with those revealed later ), and overall there are significant issues with narrative structure and timeline. So in the end the game is intentionally disturbing, emotionally manipulative, intentionally unsatisfying. Does that make it a good game? No. It's just an intentionally disturbing, emotionally manipulative, intentionally unsatisfying game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's been a really long year for everyone. What with COVID19 and all.. But I've waited even longer for this game to come out. And I just finished it. If a game is "supposed to be bad", why after 30 hours do I feel like I needed more? The story is masterfully crafted with very precisely calculated time jumps. 6 YEARs! That's how long it took them to make this game. 6 years! And I can't believe the sheer amount of hate it's received in only 48 hours since it's release, simply because it dared to do something different. So screw all of you who review bombed this game, because honestly, I absolutely loved the game from the start to finish. It doesn't affect the gameplay one bit that they're LGBTQ+ characters, so why should you care? I understand the toxic gaming community is butthurt about certain characters being killed off, but what did you expect was going to happen? That's it, I'm done. **** gamers and their overinflated egos. Expand

    Probably the biggest disappointement i have ever felt about a cultural product in my life. The last Star Wars movies feel like they have been written by William Faulkner or Aristote compared to this gargabe. Even if you set aside all the agenda they try to shove down your throat it is still utter garbage.

    Pros:
    -amazing graphics and sound for a ps4 game.

    Cons:
    -The story is pretty meh at best, with plot holes galore, and **** all over the first game.
    -Most of the new characters are totally unrelatable and one dimensional.
    -The gameplay is basically the same from 7 years ago with some minor tweaks. By now we have seen that in many games and it has started to show its age.
    -The game is padded as much as possible, which ends up feeling quite repetitive and even boring. There are a few way too long sections that could have been cut to make a bit shorter but tighter game.

    Conclusion:
    It is not a bad game but it is not a good game either. If you haven't play the first one you may enjoy this, but if you grew to love first game like I did I doubt that you would enjoy this.

    Disgusting game. All game is a feminism and lgbtq propaganda. It looks like that they have made this game like that only to make good rating so it is better to destroy their rating to show them that they should make games to have fun, not to teach to be tolerant. It is school responsibility.

    Seven years later, you come to realize that they kill off the beloved main character, and to top it all off, they implement gender politics?! This video game is a huge middle finger to the fans of the Last of Us, and I will never buy another game made by Naughty Dog.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. You couldn't make a worse sequel to the best game ever made if you tried. Naughty Dog is comprised of sadistic human beings that hold no moral values. In the first game we are tasked with ensuring the safety and survival of a young 14 year old MINOR girl. We play as both Ellie and Joel, who meets Ellie after losing his daughter who was roughly the same age. The original game is designed to make you feel like you are a PARENT to Ellie and the story and script truly make you care for these characters. As we watch Joel and Ellie struggle to survive the world and eachother the story brings the two characters closer together until they become inseperable. Flash forward to the sequel which was released 7 years after the original. Ellie is now 19 and despises Joel for saving her life. Regardless of how much they have gone through together and how strong their relationship was at one point they now seem distant. Near the beginning of the sequel we find out that our daughter that we worked so hard to raise and keep safe in the first game is now a lesbian. Which I have absolutely no problem with and I'm happy for her. What I do have a problem with is having to watch a lewd intimate scene that involves a young girl whom WAS 14 YEARS OLD THE LAST TIME WE SAW HER. Shortly after they decide to kill Joel in the story whom was one of the most respected video game characters ever created. They then decide to rub it in your face by having Ellie go to his house directly after which is filled with memories of their time together. After this the game and story become very linear and shallow. The issue is that all of this happens at the beginning of the game and really leaves no where for the story to go, no room for characters to grow etc. It feels like way more of a grind than an adventure very unlike the first game. All I really have to say is that Joel was a good man and a hero. He did not deserve to go out like that. Naughty Dog didn't just kill Joel though, they killed the entire franchise. RIP Joel Miller 2013-2020. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Seven years I waited for this sequel, with really (way to much) high hopes and anxious. I loved the first game, it was amazing and for my twelve-year-old self; mind-blowing. But suddenly I get a sequel where not only they kill the favorite character -which they used in the trailers knowing the amazing reactions they would have-, any type of character development and growth was lost within the first two hours into the game. Am I mad? Not anymore. Disappointed? Hell yes.

    Joel's character, an 'old man' that in the first game could recognize an ambush anywhere and never trusted anyone to give any type of information that could kill him, suddenly is al friendly with someone HE SAVED (not the other way around). And when everyone starts to look skeptical after he said his name; he just stood there? Waiting for them to react instead of doing something? No, that's not the same Joel from the first game.

    I won't talk about all the LGBTQ community and SJW thing because I don't care about that, I really don't. Ellie is homosexual? Okay, that's fine. Levi was a trans character? Cool. I really don't have a problem with that, so I'm not going to rant about it.

    But it pisses me off that this game tried to make me feel sorry for Abby's character, when in reality, all I wanted to do was kill her. I wanted her dead as soon as she attacked Joel, even when I didn't know what he did to her. If you kill my favorite character, and make me play half of the game chasing this woman (with an unrealistic body that tried to "represent all women"), and then suddenly I'm playing as her; I will let her die many times in the gameplay, and still want her really dead at the end. She has no purposes more than revenge her father's death, and suddenly she has pity for a woman and her trans brother (which again, I really don't mind him being trans). Everything is just a mess, nobody feels sorry for her character and her past.

    Not to mention the messed up timeline. The players bought the game hoping to play not only with Ellie, but to see the relationship of her and Joel growing even after he lied about the Fireflies. And what did we get? Some poor flashbacks that only makes you even more mad with his death, the worst one being the last one. That's it? They talk about "trying to forgive him" and next day he is dead? Nah, man, that's crappy.

    The ending was just so... unnecessary. Why would I let her go? Why would I ever spare her after everything Ellie had to go through in the game? That's just crap. I did not kill every person that was in the room when Abby killed Joel, only to forgive THE ONLY CHARACTER Ellie wanted dead. Let's remember that she also almost killed Tommy, and that she was about to kill Dina without giving a flying damn that she was pregnant. The player spent 27 hours of gameplay and cutscenes, just to "Go. Just take him". If this game was about revenge, let me tell you; Neil Druckmann clearly failed.
    I only gave this game a 2/10 because of the amazing graphics that had me in love with the visual. And the gameplay, the weapons and their upgrades were just excellent. It really sucks that they decided to ruin the storyline; this game would have been a masterpiece (as a lot of critics reviews said, not the users tho).

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolutely awful game do not buy. So many long time fans will be disappointed in the direction naughty dog decided to take. Pandering to the lgbt community and deciding it was a good idea to kill Joel off, everyone’s favorite character. Gameplay doesn’t feel new or innovative. Graphics are decent but nothing to write home about. Dialogue comes off as stiff and forced and all together an unpleasant experience Expand

    I had really high hopes for this game. And it has some great things going for it! The environments are beautiful and supremely detailed. The graphics are very pleasing, and some of the writing is pretty good. That being said, I feel very bad to give it such a poor rating. But I do have a lot of problems with this game. A lot of the storytelling is clunky and feels a bit contrived. TheI had really high hopes for this game. And it has some great things going for it!

The plot lines get confusing, and some of the new characters (no names, spoilers!) are a bit clumsily written and it’s hard to get the head around them or their motivations within the story. I really want to like the game, and there’s lots to be positive about. As a stand alone game, I would’ve given it a much higher rating. But compared to its predecessor, it’s pretty lackluster. Expand

    Best graphics and gameplay but worst story telling. The last 5 or 6 hours are absolutely awful. Characters are like tools of the scriptwriter all the time and make no sense. If you haven't played the Part 1, maybe you can try, but I don't really recommend it personally.

    As someone who absolutely adored the first game, I genuinely want to throw up from how disappointing part 2 is. I waited for this sequel for 4 years (some people have waited longer), and I talked it up so much, it pains me deeply to write this review. A 4 is probably the most accurate rating this game deserves. The good parts:

    -The music is incredible. Their music composer, Gustavo
    As someone who absolutely adored the first game, I genuinely want to throw up from how disappointing part 2 is. I waited for this sequel for 4 years (some people have waited longer), and I talked it up so much, it pains me deeply to write this review. A 4 is probably the most accurate rating this game deserves. The good parts:

    -The music is incredible. Their music composer, Gustavo Santaolalla, the same person that made the first game’s music, is a genius. The music is very emotional and aids what’s happening on the screen perfectly. -The sound design is definitely pleasing and not unrealistic in the slightest. Everything, even things you wouldn’t expect to have a sound have one. They’re very crisp and make the game that more enjoyable. Sound is a huge factor in a game, and in this one it’s fantastic.

    -The graphics are nothing short of beautiful. The textures are realistic and very lovely to look at. The look of the characters are the most believable I’ve ever seen. Definitely some of the best, if not THE best graphics right now. -The atmosphere is outstandingly well made. Being in a city, traveling through a forest, being underground, and traversing through abandoned buildings are just a few examples that are authentic to real life. Nothing is worse than not being immersed in a game. This one does it perfectly. -The animations are the best you can find at the moment. It’s incredible how much work was put into perfecting the animations. There can be so many different animations for one action, it feels so nice to play. The way the characters move and overall feel is extremely realistic, I never once doubted it.

    -The level design is easily the best on the market. Every single scene is different. The insides of buildings to the forests are so well detailed, you can tell how much heart and soul they put into it. The variety of structures and areas to explore is outstandingly well crafted. It’s a huge breathe of fresh air and very fun to explore. -The acting is better than most movies. I said it. The actors Naughty Dog hired are extremely talented. Mainly Ashley Johnson, aka Ellie. She needs to be a main character in a movie, c’mon! The game’s cutscenes are honestly like watching a movie too. Their screams, cries, and overall tone of speaking is perfect for what’s happening on the screen. Easily the best acting in a video game to date. -The versatility in the gameplay is fantastic. You can use so many different items at your disposal to utterly destroy your enemies, or sneak right past them as if you were never there. The choice is up to you. You can go prone, cut through tiny sections in the walls, and jump across platforms. It feels very smooth and grounded, and there never once is a dull moment in the middle of battle.

    -The enemies are so well programmed, they feel real. The things they say and how they approach to killing you is great, and very stressful at times! This includes the infected enemies, not just the human ones. -I didn’t encounter one single bug throughout the entirety of the game. Bugs and glitches can really break the immersion in a video game, believe me. Thankfully the testers knew what they were doing and made sure the player never encounters them. Can’t say the same for a lot of other games.

    -This game is 30 hours long. That’s very good for a story driven game.

    Now, with all these pros, how could this game possibly be a 4? Here’s how:

    -The story -The characters and the development of them. How could such a minimal amount of things possibly make this game THAT bad? I ask myself the same thing. How, after all those pros, Naughty Dog managed to mess up the most preordered Ps4 game of all time? It’s simple. A bad story can break a game. A good story can make a game. Unfortunately, this game has a bad story. The entirety of the first game, we’re spent bonding with Joel and Ellie. They are what MADE the first game. The story in the first game is arguably one of the best ever made. In this sequel, their relationship is practically thrown away. The potential this sequel had with such legendary characters like Joel and Ellie could’ve made this game go down in history like the first one, too bad their relationship is not even utilized. Joel is basically a side character in this game. The execution of some scenes were very, very poor and simply mediocre at best. It’s hard to describe the bad parts of this game without spoiling anything, but I’m trying my best. How some characters act is completely and utterly unrealistic to this world and to them, which totally breaks the immersion and your heart at the same time. 40% of 30 hours is the amount of time you’re spent playing someone you absolutely hate. Let’s not forget the ending. The ending is easily the biggest part of a game. If you screw it up, you screw the whole thing up. That’s what they did. It’s so unsatisfying and disappointing, I cried from how much I disliked it. My heart is aching.

    First off, the game play was great, visuals,voice acting and world is freaking awesome. If you really enjoyed the first game like I did, DO NOT ruin the story with this trash. The story for the second one is terrible, I'm completely disappointed.

    Badly written. Waited so many years. Wanted this to get me through the end of quarantine and was so excited. The game is SO morally confusing. Just a game of revenge, not fun, not exciting. I was so bored playing it. Not what I expected at all. I give it 1 because the graphics were good. Feels like a Marvel movie. Great graphics, no substance at all. Very sad.

The leaks come out and I take a look because of my anticipation. Why does Joel die so early and in such a humiliating way? Why are the characters so bland and boring? Why did they throw away the consistent story for a petty revenge plot with holes everywhere that. just doesn't make sense? How did this take so long just to have it come out half baked? The gameplay hasn't changed at all since the first game, everything is virtually the same since the first game but with better scenery and a few. new mechanics. That doesn't mean the gameplay is bad, it's very average and enjoyable, especially when fighting human enemies and constantly running in and out of stealth, similar to uncharted. The game has somewhat open worlds, similar to lost legacy, where they give you an area to explore that's somewhat big but doesn't take more then 10 minutes to pick clean. I was very disappointed with the turn out of this game. In December I told my friend who had purchased the game as well "Even is the game is bad, it's the last of us 2, they can't screw it up that badly can they?" They did Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The ending is terrible argumentatively speaking, there is no point in Ellie forgiving Abby, it is simply something absurd objectively speaking, the qualification is for the story, something in which The Last of Us shone, all the feelings and the bond that we unite with the characters it disappears, they throw it away, a waste of new characters. The gameplay is very good but there are still problems with the AI, but I insist that you cannot throw away everything you built in the first part, wasting many of your new and old characters for a goal that you finally did not meet. Terrible, I do not know what the criticism saw well in terms of history, I suppose that daring to kill characters and especially the main characters of the last game, but if they are going to do it, it must be done very well, however, in the end the way they did it was ridiculous.

What made the first game good got taken away in the first two hours and then the game forces you to play as the character that kills Joel. If that doesn’t make you have no motivation to continue the game, than the whole purpose of the game, revenge, doesn’t even happen. Ellie let’s the person who killed her father figure live. The story telling is beyond terrible and the game should not be played by anyone who enjoyed the first game. Expand

    The graphics is great but that doesn't justify the poorly written narrative of the game. The story doesn't connect to the first game, badly written revenge story, no character development, players are forced to do stupid decisions and it clearly runs on agenda which hits a very big nail to the game

    The Last of Us Part II is the high point of the PlayStation 4. The plot is controversial, but the game is the incredibly addictive adventure of Ellie, from which it is impossible to pull away from the opening and to the very end.

    Not everyone is going to enjoy the motives of The Last of Us Part II. But if you try and manage to accept the subliminal and not so subtle messages as a fact that the world has gone awry and that people have the need to have somewhere or someone to belong to as their own way out, then... You will witness the boundaries of gaming expand. You will witness a true masterpiece.

    If you loved the original for its great characters and well-paced story – stay away from this game. However, if you’re aching to sink into the depths of depression, or just want to cut some throats and burn some zombies – Part II will deliver. [Issue#247, p.72]
